  Abstract:  

Waste Water Disposal in Bucharest – Risking Durable Development on River Arges’s Inferior Basin. The hydrographical basin of Arges is a relatively modest water source supporting great pressure due to several industrial centers located in the area, as well as due to 3 million inhabitants residing around Bucharest.The disposal of municipal wastewater into the river Arges, without proper cleaning has unfortunately led and continues leading to permanent degradation of the basin’s environmental factors and also jeopardizes socio-economical development, especially in the inferior area of the basin.Physical and chemical analyses of the parameters conducted on different sections on river Arges and also on inferior courses of its main affluents show the evolution and also the extension of this phenomenon. The 2000/60/CE Framework Water Directive clearly presents the quality requirements regarding all water bodies in correlation with the measure programs that need to be taken in order to achieve good water environment.Taking measures to improve over ground water quality and implicitly underground water quality are mandatory, especially when considering the possibility of extending the metropolitan area of Bucharest, which, in the southern part, would mean including Arges’s inferior basin almost entirely.

Key words: water quality, risk, durable development.
